    It doesn't valorize theirs. Just been looking on forums. They just seem to be hyping each other up. Quite a lot of violent fantasies including attacking pregnant women but even more suicidal posts. Not much mutual support tho. More competitive about it. Very disturbing.https://twitter.com/adamckolasinski/status/992501812405161985 …

    Seems to me the "incels" are just the latest example of some disgruntled group trying to claim victimhood in order to acquire status within a culture that valorizes victimhood.

        Distilled narcissism, self-pity, nihilism, rage & hate. Sounds like the mirror of the worst of feminists? We should introduce them, they have so much in common! If they don't hit it off... ...mutual destruction might = a duel of mutual satisfaction?

        Shit, why would they fantasise about attacking pregnant women? I don’t want to look.

        Is there any known overlap of these thought-disordered folks with autism spectrum (aspie) population? More than a few spree killers/shooters seem to fall into obsessive type mental illness categories with likely co-morbid (& undiagnosed) schizophrenic symptoms.

        No valorization for them, that's for sure. Perhaps it's more about solidarity in victimhood. If they all claim to be victims of the same thing, it gives them the ability to collectively wallow in self-pity.
